When this show is funny its REALLY funny, the entire of season one had me in stitches. Now its not for everyone, its blatantly filling the gap in the market left by the cancellation of friends but in direct comparison the characters blend much better than in friends and the script is absolutely gold! As with friends the show heavily focuses on romance so if you're thick skinned or hate rom coms then this wont sit right with you either, I also don't find this to be an 'introduce to your friends' type of show as its heavy serialised with most plots needing the whole back-story to be funny. Having said that I got into the show after seeing one random episode from season one and was immediately addicted.
The show is not perfect, the start and middle of season two get shackey with only every other episode being funny but its seemed to pick up pace again toward the end of season two. Definitely give season one a blast and see how you feel after that, season two was worth watching and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on season three.
I do have one big gripe with the show, sometimes it seems to really go at 'nerds' and 'fat' people despite having many references to star wars in the show. The writers seem to express a lot of non-pc opinions through the barny character, I'm just griping about the odd comment that went a little too far for me and I'm sure they would argue that they're simply reinforcing his character.
